The Land Grant Business.

If the President succeeds in changing
some of the long established notions of the
interior Department relative to the pulalip
lands he will have accomplished something
for which the whole country will have
reason to thank him. His letter in the
Guilford Miller case calls attention to the
favoritim that has been shown in that de-
partment prior to the inauguration of the
present administration Decisions were
made and regulations established which the
present head of the department has not dis
turbed. because of the doubt as to whether
there is any legal power anywhere to
disturb them. The President, however, has
dissipated all doubt, not by consulting pre-
cedents, but by taking counsel with his hard
common sense1 He saw that millions of
acres were closed to settlement in order that
sometime great railroad corporation might
have the opportunity of picking the best of
them. He saw no law in the way of home
Stealing these lands, and yet the department
said they could not be homesteaded The Re
publican officials years ago tied them up in
order to save them until such time as their
railroad friends were ready to grab them

Cruilford Miller appealed to the President.
If he had not done so he would have lost
his farm, and hundreds, and perhaps thou
sands of others would have lost theirs. The
powerful and greedy corporation would
have evicted them and taken all their i'm
provements without paying them a cent
If the President had time he might look
into the grants of some of the other land
grant roads! He might get sufficient in
formation to justify a recommendation to
Congress that some of the grants be for
feited--turned back to the public domain
and opened up for settlement
1T is doubtful if there is a more disgrace
full chapter in the history of the country
than that which treats of grants of lands to
railroads. 1t ought to be sufficient to CON

The Grant Monument Fund.

Likely to receive several thousand
dollars from an unexpected source.
Funds for the monument have been
coming i'll slowly of late. though en-
cOuragingly. OF the whole amount de-
sired about $3.50, 000) there has been re-
ceived to-day about Sl35. 900.
Now, MesSrS. WyckOff. Seamans &
Benedict. the prOprietors of the Rem
ington Standard Typewriter, have
challenged all other writing machines
to a contest, in which it is proposed to
decide the question as to which is the
superior machine ~ '.t
They propose to deposit 81. goo in the
hands of the umpire (who,;by the way.
is to be appointed by their competitors !;
each competitor also to deposit 81 ,000.
After paying $500 for the expense of
operators, the whole sum thus deposited
is to go to the Grant Monument Fund.
1t is to be hoped that at least several of
these typewriterS will accept the chal-
lenge.
It will be seen that should this chal-
lenge be accepted by three of the COM
petitorS of the Remington, the result
would be. not only to establish the
superiority of one of the competing
machines, but at the same time to give
the Grant Monument Fund the sum of
$500.
1t is to he hoped that competitors of
the Remington, who claim superiority,
will respond TO this challenge promptly.

TRYING To ADJUST.
A Meeting of the Creditors of the
Late Firm of Rood & Maxwell.

"A meeting OF the Creditors OF the
Late Firm OF Rood & Maxwell.
Creditors of Rood & Maxwell and
Rood, Maxwell d Chatfield, the lumber
men who failed recently at Ashland,
Wis, held meeting at the Merchants
yesterday with view to ascertaining
what was likely to be realized from the
assets of the late firm. According to
statement submitted to the meeting
additional liabilities have been found of
Rood & Maxwell, which will bring the
total up to Sl72. S2l.00. An offer of $780,
600 for the plant has been made by
Capt. James Davidson, of Buffalo. but
upon the plant there is mortgage and
interest amounting to $4,000 held by
the Northern National bank. and a
claim of the Third National bank of St.
Paul for S60,0O0. In the event of the
acceptance of thus offer there would be
balance for division among the cred
itOrS amounting to S5S, 600, but of this
sum there are preferred claims aggre-
eating S25,5S1, leaving real balance of
$50. 419, which will pay about % cents
on the dollar to creditors. Could the
Northern National bank be induced to
come i'm with the other creditors, $4,000
would be added to the assets and the
creditors would receive about 40 per
cent of their claims.
